It's had a huge revival the past two years. I got into it about seven years ago when it was still niche/"who shoots film anymore? Just get a sony a7!". Now the photography community has had a huge backlash against digital, especially in the hobby space.
Now it's very fashionable. Pretty ironic since the biggest destination for it is just Instagram, where it's a pixelated square but alas. The plus side is that the revived interest has led to more companies and people making and selling cool film stuff. New film types, accessories, labs opening. The biggest downside is that prices go up to match demand. Good film cameras are no longer being produced. There's a limited supply out there. And Kodak (the best color film producer, nothing beats Ektar 100) price increases are only matched by price increases at your lab to develop and get prints.
Film photography is an amazing hobby. It's a really fun artistic outlet that just about anybody can learn a lot about themselves with. You shoot for a year or two an you'll learn you have a style you like taking most. Maybe black and white architecture. Maybe golden hour landscapes. Rarely do other hobbies make you learn about your tastes as such.
I would not trust a surgeon to operate on me unless they have over 65 years of experience. I want them to have operated on patients since 'Nam. You went to a state medical school? Pfft. Go kill some other patient than me.
In all seriousness, your point brings up the idea of where does the responsibility for this immensely difficult task (securing networks) fall? If we could spread out the "required" 15 years of experience into each of the developers, would that have the same effect? Building software with security baked in would reduce the need for so much work after the fact.
That safety net is part of education. Schools keep children off the streets for 7 hours a day, offer reduced lunch. Investing in a social safety net is code for investing in public education.
During the popping of the Japanese real estate bubble, which saw the value of the land under the imperial palace as the same as the value of the entire state of California[1], mortgages were offered in 100 year terms[2].
In 1941, the New Deal Works Progress Administration surveyed most buildings in New York. Now, the street level photographs are mapped over the current site.
You are picking up extra shifts on the Facebook PR defense today. I like the aggressive attitude. See you back at the Meta offices tomorrow! Can't wait for the company Halloween party over VR.
Yeah, how can a narrative book like that be "debunked"? The author wasn't making a logical argument. There is no facts and data. It's an emotional and moral argument. Certain jobs contribute nothing to the world and extract a cost on the psyche of the employee.
Strategy video games (Civilization series, SimCity, Total War series, Tycoon games) are right on the knife edge of this. I love the process. I love playing the game. Especially total war. I love conquering my neighboring nations and living out historical fantasies. But the next day, I feel awful.
Yes, saw that too. Functionality is really limited. It's basically a Wikipedia command line parser. For instance, "current weather in Los Angeles" brings up nothing. "Current president of the USA" brings up nothing. But 2020 World Series Champion brings up a Wikipedia style summary.
